Description
Step back into the age of the longbow with this Traditionally Hand-Forged Archer’s Medieval War Sword, modeled on the swords carried by archers throughout Europe during the 14th and 15th centuries. Though archers dominated the battlefield from a distance, a backup blade was essential once lines broke and close combat ensued.
This decorative reproduction features a straight, gently tapered blade forged from polished high-carbon steel. Its unsharpened edge makes it safe for theatrical performance, museum display, and historical costuming, while retaining a highly authentic profile.
The classic curved crossguard offers defensive capability in design, while the disc pommel provides balance and period-accurate appeal. The handle is wrapped in genuine leather for secure grip and historical character. The wooden-core scabbard is also wrapped in leather and finished with polished steel fittings, completing a cohesive and elegant medieval sidearm presentation.
Ideal for medieval collectors, costume enthusiasts, and educational use, this sword is a striking tribute to the gear carried by longbowmen and infantry alike.
